You basically get everything you need to play at low level IMO. Inventive users could definitely make this work for more advanced stuff if they wanted to make up their own monsters, allow feats from the list to be spread out ---basically invent multi-classing for it.
It's a good base and compares favorably to red box set (but nothing can ever really capture that magic again).
YMMV, of course.
